Banana Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins

       Banana Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins

                           (21 Day Fix friendly, Gluten-Free, Vegetarian)



I don't know about you, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE banana muffins, banana bread, banana pudding cake...well I think you get the picture. Unfortunately, none of the traditional recipes for these goodies are very weight loss friendly. WHAMP, WHAMP :(

Imagine my surprise when I purchased the Fixate cookbook and low and behold there was a recipe for Banana Apple Muffins, which are not only weight loss friendly, but Gluten Free and Vegan!!! HELL YEAH! 

I personally wasn't feelin' the apple part and since I'm always looking for ways to get more vegetables in my diet, and sneak them into the fam's meals too, I changed the recipe up just a little by tossing the apples out and adding zucchini instead (stop with the faces it's de-lish remember I hate veggies, so if you could taste the zucchini it would be a "No deal").
